How we handle shower tray repair in Knightswood

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
